After Christmas, many South African celebrities shared their holiday celebrations on social media. One of them, Ayanda Ncwane, the widow of the late gospel musician Sfiso Ncwane and a previous cast member of The Real Housewives of Durban, shared stunning family pictures on Instagram. She captioned these images: “From our family to yours, wishing you a safe and merry Christmas.”

While the images radiated festive cheer and familial bonding, they also reignited conversations about past family dynamics, particularly regarding the notable absence of Nothile, Sfiso’s daughter from a prior relationship.

Family Connections and Public Perception

In Ayanda’s Christmas photos, she showcased herself and her two sons, Ngcweti and Mawenza, all dressed in coordinated outfits for the holiday. Notably, many followers remarked on the absence of Nothile, the child Sfiso had with singer Nonku Williams, from their celebration.

The public feud between Ayanda and Nonku has gained significant attention, particularly showcased in The Real Housewives of Durban. A dramatic reunion episode featured Nonku and her mother challenging Ayanda over lingering issues related to Sfiso, including allegations of his neglect towards Nothile.

In response, Ayanda firmly stated that she fulfilled all her duties as Sfiso’s wife and owes nothing to Nonku or her relatives. Nothile’s absence from this year’s Christmas gathering adds to growing public concern regarding the frayed ties between Ayanda and Sfiso’s other children.

Critics have pointed out that while Ayanda often advocates for family unity, these ongoing omissions portray a contrasting reality.

Revisiting Past Controversies

Since Sfiso Ncwane’s passing, Ayanda’s life has been a mix of public acclaim and criticism:

Inheritance Disputes: Following Sfiso’s death in 2016, Ayanda faced allegations from his family that she was withholding his estate from his other children, with Nothile being a central figure in these claims.
